Bass is nice and this tune was much more catchy than last week's. Keep it up!

I struggle with transitions from intros as well. Thought this worked well enough! Drum fills always work in a pinch. You're getting a nice electric guitar sound w the gritty, high-vibrato lead, maybe add a few sustained notes here or there with some subtle pitch bends? All depends on the style of guitar playing you're trying to emulate though.

I find the best way to transition is probably the half rest. The intro can be a single triangle guy doing its thing for a bit and the rest a wall of sound, that half rest will set up anyone just right.

Yeah, that's a power intro! Nice metal sounding arp in the beginning. I like pizzicato that carries through and ties the track together.  Well done

Thank you for that man! I apparently can write some decent hooks but just adding the other meat and potatoes to it is where I'm still wading my way through.

Funny enough when making my instruments I would make a short, medium, and long notes to do the sustain. As for the pitch bends I'll definitely try to experiment with them more. I noticed they also go hand and hand with Note Slides ? Also, thats the exact feel I was going for and I was hoping to get a feel of a electric guitar. At some point I'd like to emulate punk rock guitars, alt-rock guitars, the guitar sound from Gitaroo Man - Flyin' to your heart, and a couple of others. Wishful thinking as all get up I know, but its something to shoot for.

This was insanely helpful. You have no idea man. I tried out the half rest on my latest beat and it felt a lot more of an organic transition than trying to always fill in the space. I definitely need to learn that sometimes it's okay to leave small gaps, it builds intensity i think?

You have given me new terms to work with that I had no idea existed. Thank you so much for this and I am so so glad you enjoyed this track! It was one of the most fun ones to make.
